For starters, custom boot animations give a unique look to your Poco F1 or any smartphone for that matter while booting. The stock ROM of a phone includes the brand’s regular boot animation which might be same across all their products or differ by a series of products. Thus, if you want your phone to have something different to stand out in the crowd, then custom boot animations are the way to go.
Custom boot animations can be created by anyone with an appropriate tool. But if you are not interested in creating one of your own, you can download the ones already made by someone.
